Problem 10
Engine knock occurs.
Probable Cause
1.
The main bearing is damaged.
Inspect the main bearings and the bearing surface of
the crankshaft. Replace damaged parts.
2.
The crankshaft is damaged.
Replace the crankshaft. Clean the engine thoroughly.
Problem 11
The rocker arm has insufficient movement and the valve
lash exceeds the specification.
Probable Cause
1.
Lubrication
of
internal
engine
components
is
inadequate.
Check lubrication of the valves. There must be a strong
flow of oil at engine high rpm, but only a small flow at
low rpm. Oil passages must be clean.
2.
Rocker arm parts are worn.
If there is too much wear, install new parts or rocker
arms. Adjust the valve lash.
3.
The end of the valve stem is worn.
Install new valves. Adjust the valve lash.
4.
The valve lash exceeds the specification.
Measure the valve lash. Adjust the valve lash.
5.
The pushrods are worn.
If there is too much wear, install new pushrods. Adjust
the valve lash.
6.
The valve lifters are worn.
If there is too much wear, install new valve lifters.
Adjust the valve lash.
7.
The lobes of the camshaft are worn.
Measure the valve lash. Check for free movement of
the valves. Check for bent valve systems. Check for
wear on the valve lifters. Replace defective parts.
Adjust the valve lash.
8.
The bolts and the nuts that hold the rocker arm
assembly are loose.
9.
Tighten the bolts and the nuts.
Problem 12
The valve is loose.
Probable Cause
1.
The spring lock for the valve is broken.
Replace the spring lock. Broken locks can cause the
valve to slide into the cylinder. Major engine damage
can result.
2.
The valve springs are broken or damaged.
Install new valve springs.
Problem 13
Oil condenses at the exhaust
Probable Cause
1.
The valve compartment contains too much oil.
Look at both ends of the rocker arm shaft. Be sure that
a plug is installed in each end.
2.
The valve guides are worn.
Install new valve guides. Recondition the cylinder head.
3.
The piston rings are worn.
4.
Replace the piston rings.
Problem 14
The valve lash is less than the specification.
Probable Cause
1.
The valve seat or the face of the valve is worn.
Recondition the cylinder head. Adjust the valve lash.
